Thank you for letting me join in. I've been poking around and there is a lot of great information I can use!
I'm retired, age 56, and slowly turning into a raisin.
My car is a 1967 RT. I've had if for almost four years. It's mostly original, with all of the documentation from when it was purchased new, second repaint, with factory Air Conditioning, and Power Windows. (727)
Thanks again, and I look forward to learning, and if I can, helping.
Dave
PS: I might as well attempt my first edit and photo posting.

Thanks. No, it has the padded interior (blue) wheel with the horn ring.

Thanks. I found it at a car show here. I was actually looking for an E body, LOL and saw this one and had to have it. I feel more like a custodian than an owner.

Thanks. I am the fifth owner. First owner bought it in San Francisco (MFG at LA plant) and was an airline pilot. Late '66. When he passed away, he willed it to a friend who kept it for several years. It was used to launch a fishing boat in SoCal. The third owner found it for sale and bought it. He was a body shop owner in SoCal and a MOPAR fanatic hailing from the Great White North originally. He sold it to another guy and I got it from him.
The irony is that when I moved to Havasu a couple of years earlier, I moved two houses down from the third owner. Without knowing it was his, I bought the car and parked it in my driveway. His wife saw it and was shocked. They'd owned it for 20 years and did a light restoration on it in CA.
All those years later, the car ends up on the same street. At some point, I will post some photos of it. It is definitely not a show car, but a solid driver needing a few things fixed. I do have some great information on it, which is why I used the term "custodian."
Thanks, I read quite a few of your posts before joining by the way.

The original color was that silver (code escapes me now, but you guys know) and had a dealer installed "rub rail" on sides. It was then painted DBC 4449 H (Peacock Blue in a two stage) I know this because the guy, (remember, he's now my neighbor) saved the left over paint. After 20 years, it was still good, so I used it to paint a vintage mini bike with as well. If you remind me, maybe send a PM, I can detail the mix, as the codes and ratios are still there. Thanks.

I am digging all of the RT nom de plum here! Thanks!
I do not know if this is allowed, but click here is a link to several photos when it was offered for sale a few years ago. It does now have the 150 speedo.
